HINTS TO WRITER'S.
The Work Required to Produce Euphon-
Ious Sentences Full of Meaning.

The Work Required to Produce Euphon-
ious Sentences Full of Meaning.
Easy writing involves hard work.
II costs thought and care to bring into
good form a single sentence that is
tull of meaning, and that can be readily
understood. If every word in every
sentence of piece of writing tells in
the direction of the main purpose of
that writing. you may be sure that its
writer rejected a great many more
words than he used, and that his words
as they stand mark the survival of
the fittest," in his evolutionary mental
processes This idea is not commonly
recognized, vet it is suggested in the
very term ''terse," as applied to con-
densed and compacted phrasing. When
we speak of ''terse writing" we think
of consise and vigorous writing; and
it sometimes seems to us that such
writing may be the free and emphatic
expression of strong and earnest
thinker, without any special labor on
his part Yet ''terse" means "wiped
rubbed" "cleansed:r as applied to
language, it necess sarily involves the
idea of more or less of an eliminating
process. And indeel, as a matter of
fact, all terse writing is a result of such n
process. A ''proverb" is said to be ''the
wisdom of many and the wit of one,
which is only another way of saying
that it took long while to bring down
so great truth into so small COM
pass. Three things are said to be es-
sential to a proper proverb: ''sense,
shortness and salt. or truth, compact
ness and life. And these three quail
ties are not combined in the spontan-
eous utterances of any mans mind. A
Young writer needs to write and re-
write, over and over again, condensing
his writing at every revision, in order
to arrive at any thing like terseness.
Many a good writer continues this
method all his life through. Yet 4
thoroughly disciplined mind can do its
work of choosing and rejecting words
in its process of condensation, without
committing every step of the process
to paper. In one way or another. how
ever, compact writing is always labor
ious writing. If you find it hard Ia
write tersely. you have reason TO hope
that you are on the right track in yous
writing. If you find it easy to write
tersely, you may be sure that your
work is failure; and even if you are
not sure on that point, your reader:
will be.-S. s. Times.

How to Cure Warts.

It is now fairly established that the
.ommon wart, which is so unsightly
md often proliferous on the hands and
face. can be easily removed by small
loses of sulphlte magnesia taken in
ternally. NJ Colrat, of Lyons, has
drawn attention to this extraordinary
fact. .veral children treated with
three-grain doses of EPSON salts morn
ing and evening were promptly cured.
NJ. Aubcrs cites the case of woman
whose face was disfgured by these ex-
creseences, and who was cured in a
month by drachm and half of
magnesia daily. Another medical man
reports a case of very large warts
which disappeared in fortnight from
the daily administration of ten grains
of the salts-MedicaI Press

Curious Marriage Customs.

The associations connected with the mar.
rage rites among the Kirghese of the north
ern steppes OF Toorkistan are most formld
involving the payment OF "kalim" besides
the giving Of various presents. The FIRST por
tion is paid by the match maker when nego-
tiations are entered into, but the second not
for twelve months, unless the bridegroom be
wealthy. Should the brlde-elect die during
this period her parents must return al. they
have received or give their next daughter as a
substitute together with fine of one or two
horses and robes OF furs. This same law
applies In the event Of the girl lifting her
suitor. On the other hand, should the man
die, his parents must either pay fine and
forfeit the "kaim," or take the girl for their
next son. AT the expiration of the term of
betrothal the bridegroom attired In his best
goes with his friends to the ''aulg'' or village
OF the bride, where a tent has been prepared
for his reception. Throughout the ceremonies
OF betrotha the brides mother has the right
o: differing from the bridegroom whatever she
plcases; but at the wedding the BRIDES rela-
tives, near and distant, come and take as pre-
sents almost everything he has. His hat, coat.
girdle, horse, saddle, and all that he has are
pilfercd, each one taking an article remarking
that II Is for the education OF the bride There.
u however, some reciprocity In the matter for
when the relatives Of the bride visit the "aulg,
OF the bridegroom they are feeced In exactly
the same manner. On the payment OF the
"kalm" the parents OF the bride are bound to
give up their daughter, giving her az dowry
